OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
I ALREADY BITCHED ABOUT THIS ON MY TWITTER BUT DO YOU GUYS REALIZE IT WOULD BE PHYSICALLY EASIER FOR ME TO GET DRUGS INTO MY POSSESSION THAN IT IS FOR ME TO GET REAL RHINESTONES? Like, fuck. First off, the place doesn't take walk-ins. So I had to try to make an appointment (which is just... fucking ridiculous). And it's like this place that normal people can't just go to and the only reason I can even go is because my mom used to have a dance store. So, already reference the drug metaphor, if you will - anyone can buy drugs, not just business owners. THEN, I call them and I'm like, "hi is there any way I can get rhinestones by tomorrow." and she's asking for my business name and I tell her it and she can't find it in their books/computer/whatever. And she goes on about some form we need to fill out and "I CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU UNTIL YOU FILL OUT THIS FORM, I'M SORRY, IT'S NOT MY ISSUE IT'S JUST REQUIRED BY THE STATE." Wow. WHY DOES THE STATE NEED A FUCKING FORM FOR THEM. IT'S RHINESTONES.
And then she's all, "You could just pay retail price for them if you really need them, you sound stressed, I don't want you to be stressed." So I ask her how much that would be AND LOLOL. SHE INFORMS ME THAT IT'S ONLY $4 MORE THAN WHOLESALE. SO WHY THE FUCK WAS I EVEN FIGHTING FOR SO LONG FOR IT. GOD WHAT A HEADACHE. So I had to go through the motion of ~making an appointment~ and then we had to drive there AND - she rings it all up and it turns out to only be $2.50 extra that it would have been if I'd had a ~form~. I mean, really. REALLY.
Seriously I could have had weed in my hands, wham bam thank you ma'am, in 15 minutes probably. We were in the downtown city after all.
BUT GUYS THEY ARE SO PRETTY, WE BOUGHT 2 AND A HALF GROSS AND THAT IS 360 OF THEM AND THEY ARE SO PRETTY AND THE PACKAGING IS PRETTY - THEY GOT NEW PACKAGING!! - AND SPARKLES, SPARKLES!!!
It's insane how excited rhinestones make me. Like it's a disease.
